It has DNA and is made up of proteins and other similar components. Also, it has marker proteins on the outside of it like most cells. These marker proteins are the key for a body to have an immune reaction to a virus. A virus is not alive like other organisms, however, because it can not reproduce on its own. A virus invades other organisms to use as a host (people, animals, plants, etc.) and forces them to stop doing what they normally do and begin reproducing the virus instead.
